“Get out the way!” Cooper says on the recording as he shouted at other drivers

As Cooper’s black 2003 BMW X5 sped down the I-95 highway, Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Fellsmere Police Department officers were able to clear traffic in front of him and then put spikes on the road to deflate his tires.

Once the car’s tired were blown out and its speed decreased, troopers were able to bring it to a halt with a PIT maneuver.

Cooper drove approximately 50 miles with his gas pedal stuck before his car was finally stopped.

It’s not clear what caused the pedal mishap.

No serious injuries were reported. But after the incident was over, Cooper complained of chest pains and was taken to a nearby hospital.
